Dental emergencies can happen when you least expect them — and they require immediate, skilled attention. At Clementon Dental, we understand the stress that sudden oral pain or trauma can cause. That's why Dr. Kenneth Soffer and his compassionate team offer same-day emergency dental care in Clementon, NJ. Whether you're suffering from a cracked tooth, severe pain, or a knocked-out tooth, our team is here to provide fast relief and expert care. With early hours starting at 7:00 AM and a centrally located office on White Horse Pike, we make emergency dentistry as accessible as possible. Our modern facility is equipped with digital diagnostics and advanced technology to accurately assess and treat urgent dental needs on the spot. When you're in pain or unsure what to do, the best first step is to contact our office directly at (856) 783-4949. Clementon Dental is here to ensure you get the treatment you need — quickly, comfortably, and professionally.
Prompt action in a dental emergency often means the difference between saving or losing a tooth. For example, a knocked-out permanent tooth may be successfully reimplanted if handled properly and addressed within 30 minutes. If this happens, gently rinse the tooth without scrubbing and place it in milk or under the tongue — then head directly to Clementon Dental. Our team is experienced in treating all types of dental trauma, including cracked teeth, oral infections, and broken restorations. We prioritize pain management and use high-resolution digital X-rays to diagnose issues accurately and efficiently. With same-day appointments available, we can typically resolve the issue — or stabilize it — during a single visit. Many patients choose us over urgent care or hospital ERs, where dental-specific care is often limited. At Clementon Dental, you’ll receive specialized emergency treatment from a team that understands both the urgency and sensitivity of your situation. We treat every emergency with the precision and respect it deserves.
Common Dental Emergencies We Treat
Dental emergencies can range from mild discomfort to severe injuries that require immediate intervention. Dr. Soffer and the team at Clementon Dental treat a wide variety of emergency conditions with skill and compassion. One of the most frequent concerns we address is tooth pain. Whether caused by decay, a cracked tooth, or infection, dental pain can disrupt your ability to eat, sleep, or concentrate. At your emergency visit, we perform a thorough exam and use digital imaging to pinpoint the issue. From there, we’ll provide a treatment plan to alleviate the pain and resolve the root cause — often in the same appointment. Other common emergencies include chipped or broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, and lost or damaged crowns and fillings. Dr. Soffer is experienced in fabricating and replacing restorations using durable, modern materials that restore both function and aesthetics.
Infections such as dental abscesses are another critical reason to seek emergency dental care. An abscess occurs when bacteria build up in the root or gum tissue, leading to swelling, pus, and intense pain. Left untreated, abscesses can spread infection throughout the body. Our team acts quickly to drain the infection and recommend appropriate care — which may include an emergency root canal or surgical procedure. Broken dental restorations are also treated with urgency, especially if they compromise your ability to chew or expose sensitive nerves. Clementon Dental uses only high-quality materials for our crowns and fillings, but should an issue arise, we’re fully equipped to repair or replace them quickly. No matter the emergency, our focus is on providing long-lasting solutions that restore your comfort, appearance, and oral health.
